Equipment used in the preparation of food samples for chemical, nutritional, and microbiological analyses. Includes high-speed blade systems for homogeneous grinding with temperature control, and paddle systems (Stomacher type) for efficient extraction of microorganisms.
High-performance equipment designed for the fast and efficient disruption of samples through bead impact (bead-beating). These systems enable cell lysis and DNA/RNA extraction from biological tissues, plants, or minerals within seconds. The range extends from compact microtube solutions to refrigerated systems and powerful mills for extreme samples.
A French press (1) is equipment used for cell disruption and homogenization of biological samples. It operates by applying high pressure to a cell suspension, forcing it through a narrow valve or orifice. It is widely used in laboratories for the lysis of bacteria, yeasts, and other microorganisms, especially when preserving proteins and sensitive structures is desired.
